Q: When do the players start to travel to other towns?
Under 12, 14, 16, 18 boys and girls will travel to surrounding towns such as Grand Valley , Georgetown, Bolton, Acton, Caledon, Puslinch etc.
Q: Why do they have to travel at all?
We do not have enough players in our own house league so we must play against towns close to us.
Q: When is a game cancelled?
A game is cancelled when there is lightning. Rain, sleet or cold does NOT cancel a game. You need to go to the field and a referee will make the final decision.
PARENTS: If you feel that your child should not be on the field it is your responsibility to go to the coach and have him call your child off the field.
